Creekmore previously threatened to kill his Norristown girlfriend, said police.

The (Easton) Express-Times reports he was arrested last month in Montgomery County on simple assault and harassment charges after authorities said he choked his girlfriend, who is the mother of his children.

Creekmore was serving a six-month sentence for civil contempt in a domestic-relations case.

It wasn't immediately known if the Montgomery County charges led to the civil-contempt charge in Northampton County.
